Olivia Wilde, the director of Booksmart and Don’t Worry Darling, has just confirmed in Variety what her next film will be: the film adaptation of Avengelyne. For those who are not familiar with this character, she is a very popular comic book warrior from the 90s created by Rob Liefeld (creator of Deadpool) and Cathy Christian. Although at that time she was an overly sexualized character, it is evident that the adaptation will give a new twist to her image.
But the best part is that Wilde won’t be alone in this film. The director will have two great allies in the production: Simon Kinberg, producer of X-Men, and none other than Margot Robbie. The lead actress of Barbie has been involved as a producer in very interesting projects for years, and this is the next one she has chosen.
Will Margot Robbie star in this adaptation?
As it begins to sound, the role of producer for Margot Robbie is not in vain. Apparently, Wilde wants the actress as the protagonist of the film, something that she would have accepted. The project still doesn’t have a studio to develop in, so we don’t know much about it, but it is most likely that they will soon sign with a big company and start determining the details of the movie.
